Shaolin Sam erred on the side of caution, agreeing with the suited man's plight, but just as he was about to chime in with his own mediation, a loud war cry droned everything out.

"NYEEAH!"

Sam let out an aggravated sigh as a table arced high towards the group of bounty hunters. He was looking forward to drinking the hot tea he bothered the bartender to serve him, but that was unlikely to happen now. Still, he moved it carefully off to another table where two reptilian women sat.

"Can I leave this here for a second?" Sam smiled. The ladies' fork tongues slithered out from their mouths as they returned the gesture. Sam bowed respectfully before turning around, revealing a very serious face. With lightning fast reflexes, his left hand unholstered the gun on his hip and fired directly above the bounty hunters. Two loud pangs! were heard, followed by the collapse of the rusty chandelier that would fall on the bounty hunters if they weren't quick enough to roll away from harm.

Work got the best of me. I'll have a post up sometime late tomorrow night.

The Heroes of Righteousness: A Samurai Jack Universe RP

Name: Sam
Aliases/Nicknames: The Shaolin Sheriff or Shaolin Sam
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Race: Human

Appearance: At 5'9" Shaolin Sam is in prime shape with an athletically fit body, tempered by martial arts, horseback riding, and farm work. He sports a cowboy westerner's digs with a brown duster and matching hat, blue denim jeans, leather hide belt, buttoned shirt, and red bandana. Every cowboy needs a pair of trusty boots, but for Sam, he chooses to rock a pair of futuristic high tops that allow him to jump high, and leap long distances. They're also shock absorbers, which makes it comfortable to stick a landing from very high drops.

Carried Weapons: The Shapeshifter - A polymorphic weapon that can seamlessly transform into a laser pistol, laser rifle, laser machete blade, laser bladed spear, and a laser whip.
Worn Armor: He wears a lightweight chest armor under his duster. It's made of the same material as his futuristic boots and can absorb a great deal of punishment.
Miscellaneous Items: A brown wooden bead necklace that serves as a reminder of his days as a shaolin monk.

Supernatural/Superhuman Abilities: Sam is a durable fighter with a uniquely formless style. His shaolin martial arts is the foundation of his prowess. Combined with crafty marksmanship as a gunslinger, he is a slippery adversary at both long range and close quarter combat.

History: Sam was a monk that grew up training among other Shaolin under Grandmaster Tan Zang, a centuries old instructor who achieved ultimate self awareness. He was a promising student of the trade that could almost perform telekinesis by honing his chi. As he was beginning to achieve great feats as a Shaolin, Sam started to wonder about his purpose in life. The training of mind and body, though selfless, felt wasteful as him and his brothers perfected their craft in secrecy from Aku's prying eyes. There was no denying the dangers that lurked beyond those temple walls, and he sought to use his skills to combat evil forces that preyed on the weak. He eventually stowed away on a train that took him into the western territories, where he was flung knee deep into the wild futuristic dystopia of the west. Sam served as a vigilante for justice, terrorizing bandits and saving countless people from harm.

One of those fortunate souls was a scientist named Braxley, who saw great potential in Sam. The lab coat decided to assist the shaolin with an assortment of gadgetry like jump boots, durable chest armor, and a polymorphic weapon called The Shapeshifter. Braxley even went as far as hiring a dangerous bounty hunter named Zeke to help train Sam on how to use firearms like a true gunslinger. After he got the hang of firing pistols and rifles, Sam moved onto The Shapeshifter, training in a whole new style that combined martial arts and marksmanship. With new toys and fighting styles added to his arsenal, Sam took it upon himself to be an unofficial sheriff of the land. Yet despite his courageous efforts, the overwhelming corruption lead by Aku could not be thwarted. Dr. Braxley and his family were killed by Aku's forces, sending Sam on a path of vengeance.

Is this still happening?

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

Ludivico chuckled at the odd gathering of people that was his regiment. Mages flashed their colorful spells. Armored men huffed and puffed as they sparred round after round. A priest gave one fiery sermon to an otherwise half-attentive crowd. Gamblers tried their luck at whatever game they could spill their coin on. It was like a small town festival put together at the very last minute, except everyone in this village is just now meeting for the first time. While the mood was relatively lighthearted, there was an air of seriousness underneath it all. As if the cordiality served as a blanket, hiding concerns for the coming battle.

The beasts made their mark at Blackstone, the bastion of mankind's defense against these foul creatures, rallying Orc armies from the dread lands like a pus infected wound. Ludivico was sailing the eastern coast, delivering a hefty stockade of arquebuses to a port town when the beasts invaded the fortress. By the time he docked at his destination the Emperor's Edict had already been declared. People in town came in droves to volunteer for the cause. Ludivico would like to tell people that he joined those honorable men with shared vigor for protecting land and country.

Truth be told, the lucrative contract he signed with the port town's recruitment officer is the only reason he's baring arms with this hodgepodge of militiamen. The sum entitled for his services was most gracious, a pot sweetened with suave negotiation, further enticed with a gift from his herbal wares. The recruitment officer probably thought Ludivico was just some ordinary merchant lout, way in over his head, and will likely die on the battlefield before he could collect the reward. Ludivico stared around at the odd militia group once more and couldn't help but agree.

"Hey, you listening?"

Ludivico glanced to his side and saw a wide-eyed soldier, one he had tuned out for the past couple of minutes.

"Of course, my friend." Ludivico flashed his dashing smile. "What did you do next?" It was a bold question. Ludivico hadn't been paying attention at all, and the aloof soldier could very well be talking about something grim like the death of a loved one. The soldier's glinting eyes proved otherwise.

"I took him by the hips and we danced like two magical antelope in a dread land oasis-"

Ludivico nodded his head ever so slowly, wishing he was back on his boat to some private island with rum and harlot in hand.

Sigh...

@Arthanus Just realized this part of the question never got answered. Just a need to know for lore sake.

And for modes of transportation are there things like airships, or are horses/beasts the norm? Thanks.

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

Name: Ludivico Nyambaya Locche
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Appearance: Lucky Locche does not have the physicality of a self-imposing man. He wouldn't have his average height and build any other way as he doesn't enjoy being a standout from the crowd. Underneath his long braided hair and scruffy beard are chiseled facial features and Asiatic brown eyes. So long as the weather permits it, Locche will wear a full leather wardrobe and sleek tricorn hat. Warmer climates will see him in a buccaneer's vest and slacks, though he prefers to add a long sleeve to cover the ink scribbled all over his upper body.

Bio: There's not much to say about Ludivico's upbringing. He was born on a hot summer day aboard a slaver's ship. Was his mother a slave, or was she the Captain's wife? Perhaps the makings of both. Ludivico could care less. The oldest memory he can conjure up is a giant hand grabbing him by the hair and chucking him out onto the sand. From that point on his custodians exchanged hands between wayfaring artisan types and mercantile travelers. None of which had the courage or patience to take him under their wing for long.

At age 10 he was living on his own -- moving from city to city, pick pocketing his way into young adulthood where he attempted to slight a venerable pirate named Kaleem "The Falchion" Suleiman. Much to Ludivico's chagrin (and utmost fear of crossing a great pirate) he was applauded for his efforts and invited into Kaleem's cadre. Invite is a much more flowery word than what The Falchion used, as it involves choice, and young Locche was no longer entitled to such luxuries. At least for now.

Fast forward 20 years worth of perilous squabbling and swashbuckling violence...

Ludivico has become a sailing merchant of the Eastern Isles. His boat, The Vishanti, is a small brigantine style ship, sleek in design and a dream to handle. It was made out of the remaining pieces of Kaleem's boat that mysteriously found itself swept ashore six summers ago. To this day Ludivico hasn't found any clues regarding Captain Suleiman's disappearance, nor does he intend to go out of his way to conduct his own investigation. As The Falchion often said, "Lives are but shit-stained seaweeds soaking in the ocean foam. Send them your best regards with an empty bottle and a belly full of rum, and hope their ghost doesn't come hauntin' for anything more than that."

Locche is under a contracted partnership with the thieves guild. He sells weapons to rural areas and villages privy of rising beast attacks. He'll occasionally lend his services as a hired axe, usually for city folk traveling out into the coast for vacation. Very rarely does he fight for coin or hunt beasts - lest the money is too good to pass up. While the pay is decent, he has his sights set on more grander investments, as he's often seen rubbing elbows with all sorts of business folk nowadays. He hopes to catch wind of a golden opportunity that will grant him the comfortable boring life he so secretly desires.

Fighting Style: There is no name for the way he cuts men down. Some have called it chaotic. Messy. Yet in the eye of the tornado is a calculating fighter that demands swift death through unflinching violence. Unhindered by heavy armor, Ludivico is quick and agile, striking at a relentless pace with enough battle awareness to keep multiple targets at bay.

Equipment:

• Dual Short Axes
• Magelock Pistol: Single shot pistol that can pack a heavy punch used as a last resort. It is most effective at close/mid-range.

Skills/Abilities:

• Excellent - Sailing
• Excellent - Close Quarter Fighting
• Great - Marksmanship/ Axe-Throwing
• Great -Trading
• Decent - Fishing
